Question

Samantha’s parents give her $10 per week. For each chore that she does not complete, she must repay her parents $1. Which graph models Samantha’s allowance?

A graph titled Samantha's Allowance has chores not completed on the x-axis and amount earned on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 10) and (1, 9).
A graph titled Samantha's Allowance has chores not completed on the x-axis and amount earned on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 10) and (2, 12).
A graph titled Samantha's Allowance has chores not completed on the x-axis and amount earned on the y-axis. A line goes through points (1, 6) and (1.5, 16).
A graph titled Samantha's Allowance has chores not completed on the x-axis and amount earned on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 10) and (1, 0).

Answer 1

A graph titled Samantha's Allowance has chores not completed on the x-axis and amount earned on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 10) and (1, 9).

Explanation:

If she starts (at zero) with $10, that will be the y-intercept (0, 10)

That eliminates one option

Now if she were to not complete her chore, her y value will go down by one

At the same time she does not complete one, her x value will go up

This is because the y value represents money earned while the x value is for chores not completed

That being said, the coordinates should look like this:

(1, 9)

(2, 8)

(3, 7)

(4, 6)

(5, 5)

(6, 4)

(7, 3)

(8, 2)

(9, 1)

(10, 0)

And so on..

(1, 9) matches with the first problem so that is the answer

Answer 2
